Introduction

• The generic industry has enjoyed a remarkable run over the past decade, with companied generating above average share holders return

• The industry has along track record of strong, steady growth, often at double digit rates.

• From 2009 to 2012, net revenue grew at an average of 8% per year – one and half time faster than the 54 % posted by small molecule originators

Generic Companies have generated above the – average return

The Challenges ahead

• Although there is still room for growth in generics, delivering it has become more complex, given that penetration rate as high as 80% in USA and 70 % in central and eastern Europe, significant potential exists for volume penetration in many markets.

• In addition between 20$ and 60$ billion of originators sales will continue to go off-patent each year

• However generic companies face considerable challenges to their profitability and growth

The Challenges ahead

Commoditization, combined with extensive reforms in both regulated and unregulated markets is increasing pressure on prices

• Although healthcare reforms have boosted sales of generics in recent years, many governorates are looking to reduce their generic drug expenses.

• More and more countries have seen dramatic shift in their business model as payors become key stockholders through the implementation of tenders

The Challenges ahead

Products portfolio are becoming increasingly complex• The share of hard to make and specialized drug go off-patent- including drug/device combinations, sterile injectable, and biologics will increase by 2016.

• 8 of the top 10 pharmaceutical drugs will be biologics.

The Challenges ahead

Managing a business while maintaining a lean structure and striving for cost

leadership has become more complex

• The top two global players each have up to 1000 compounds on the market and even more products in pipeline covering oral solids, biosimilars, respiratory, sterile injectable and patches

The Challenges ahead

Quality control in manufacturing remains challenging• Comparing generic players with

originators illustrates the scale of the problem

• For example, 1.4 % of batches are rejected for generic companies as compared with 0.4 %for originators and there are 72 deviation per 1000 batches for generic players as compared with 53 deviations for originators

The Challenges ahead

New players are intensifying competition • New entrants in Generic market specially

from originators such Abbott, Sanofi and GSK

The Challenges ahead

Conclusion• As a result of this challenges, financial

markets are less optimistic than they were about the outlook of generics

Choosing where to play

• Some might say that generics companies will find it increasingly difficult to launch new products now that originator products coming off-patent are becoming harder to develop, produce, and commercialize

• Generic Companies have a wide range of opportunities to choose from

• About $217 billion worth of originators products will lose their patent protection by 2018, and they span the full range from oral solids, Biologics, inhalers and sterile injectable to OTC medicine

Choosing where to play

• The opportunities in these categories will varying in value and timing; for instance, biosimilar will be a large opportunity driven by the patent expiry of major products

• While sterile injectable will be smaller opportunity by value; but with steady stream available each year

• Each product opportunity will also vary in terms of its regulatory context, manufacturing requirements and commercialization challenges

Choosing where to play

• Industry estimates suggest that generics are likely to have luxury of nearly $60 Billion in net growth in the next six years

• Companies should make a careful assessment of where to invest before deciding on their development programs
